Tag Content

Version: 2019.2Applies to: Tableau Online, Tableau Server

Tags are keywords you can create for workbooks, views, data sources, and flows to help you find, filter, and categorize content in Tableau Server and Tableau Online. Authors can tag content when they publish it to a Tableau server. You can also add tags to any content you are allowed to access, and you can delete any tags you have added.

Note: You cannot tag projects.

View tags

For a published workbook, view, data source, or flow, its tags appear in the tooltip when you hover over the thumbnail.

Find tagged content

Use tags to find content with quick search.

Or use filters to search the list of tags.

Note: The tag filter does not appear for mixed content in a project. You must view a single type of content that can be tagged, such as workbooks, to access the tag filter.

Add tags

You can add tags to any content on the server that you have permission to access.

Navigate to a list of workbooks, views, data sources, or flows.

Select one or more items you want to tag, and then select Actions > Tag.

Enter one or more words in the text box, and then click Save Tags.

Delete tags

You can delete any tags that you have created.

Click the … to access the actions menu on specific content, then select Tag.
